Certificates of Free Sale
A Certificate of Free Sale (CFS) serves as evidence that companies freely sell goods in the United States and, by extension, that consumers consider these goods safe for use and consumption. Governments of other countries frequently require a CFS in order to demonstrate that the U.S. does not prohibit the sale of exported products. Additionally, while certain products, particularly pharmaceuticals, necessitate documents that a U.S. Government agency issues, many other items do not have such stringent requirements. In fact, for a wide range of goods, local Chambers can often provide the necessary certification. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to understand the specific requirements for each product category and destination country. Government agency issues, in many cases a Chamber can issue them. Our team understands the rules and regulations of this process.
Tenders
Every business day, governments and organizations across the globe make over 50,000 new public procurement tenders available. Remarkably, many of these tenders are open to U.S. exporters. However, all too often, companies remain unaware of these lucrative opportunities. To address this issue, we can provide your members with a powerful tool designed to identify these tenders. Moreover, this tool filters results based on each company’s specific product range, thereby ensuring relevance. Consequently, by leveraging this resource, your members can significantly increase their chances of securing global sales. In essence, this tool serves as a bridge, connecting U.S. businesses with international procurement opportunities they might otherwise overlook. Imagine how happy your export members will be if you help them increase sales!
Business Travel Visas
Exporters have members of staff who often travel to gain new business and service existing overseas customers. For companies that venture further afield, particularly to parts of Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and South America, many countries require a business visa for entry. We can help by providing resources to obtain required visas. Our team will walk these visa applications through the appropriate embassy in DC.
